Is there a way to have an object look towards the mouses position on the screen, such as a head turning towards wherever the mouse happens to be on the screen, not in actual worldspace, I have found lots of mouse look scripts but they rotate towards the exact position in world space not its position on the screen.

Take the x position of the mouse on the screen (like so)

Take the screen width (like so)

Take the width/2 - x position of the mouse to get how far left/right of the center it is.

rotate the wanted object by that amount * however much you'd wish (like so)

Now do the same for height/y.

Good luck with it.
